Kid Rock is sounding off on the concert retail industry.

The outspoken Grammy-nominated singer testified at the Senate Commerce Committee's hearing, dubbed "Fees Rolled on All Summer Long: Examining the Live Entertainment Industry," on Wednesday, Jan. 28. The hearing addressed pricing issues concerning live concert and event fees and bots.

"I've been packing arenas, amphitheaters and stadiums with the greatest fans on Earth for over 25 years." Kid Rock, 55, said. "I'm also a capitalist. ... I love live music and sports, and I believe music fans and artists have been getting screwed for far too long by the ticketing system."
